DISPLAY BOOK.

Application filed September 15, 1921.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, Flowers SoHLossER, aresident of New York city, county and State of New York, and a citizenof the United States of America, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Display Books, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in display books forannouncements, either business or social. One of the objects of myinvention is to provide a display book the pages of which form pocketsinto which loose samples are placed. Upon the outer surface of each pageor each pocket I locate, either by pasting or otherwise applying,duplicate samples of the loose samples within the pockets. In otherwords one page will contain, for instance, a sample of an envelope cardand sheet of paper. Within the pocket, to the outer surface of which theduplicate samples are pasted, will be placed loose samples of the samecolor, texture and size as the samples fastened to the page. To displayhis wares, a salesman will merely turn over the pages of his sample bookto display the duplicate samples upon the pages, and if it be necessarythe loose sam ples can be removed from the pockets without disturbingthe fixed samples.

1 will now proceed to describe my invention in detail, the novelfeatures of which I will point out in the claims, reference being had tothe drawing wherein,

Fig. 1 is a top plan view of an open sample book.

Fig. 2 is a face view of a sheet of material out of which the pages ofthe book are formed.

Figs. 3 and 4 are detail perspective views, on a reduced scale,illustrating the way the sheet is folded to form the pocketed pages.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a complete age.

p Fig. 6 is a section on line 66 in Fig. 5, and

Fig. 7 is an edge view of a book made up in accordance with myimprovement.

A book made up in accordance with my improvement will be made up of aplurality of pages removably mounted in a loose leaf binder, but itshould be understood that said pages can be permanently fastened to asuitable binding. Each page will consist of a Specification of LettersPatent.

plurality of pocketed-members to contain samples. As herein illustratedeach page 8 will consist of two pocketed numbers 9 and 10, the pocketsbeing indicated by 11 and 12 respectively.

The outer surface of each page will have applied thereto duplicates ofthe samples within the pockets, for instance, page number 9 will haveapplied to its outer surface an envelope 13, a sheet of paper 14 and acard 15, see Fig. 1, and page number 10 will have affixed to its outersurface different duplicate samples. The pocket 11 will contain loosesamples like the duplicate samples affixed to the outer surface of pagenumber 9, and pocket 12 will contain loose samples like the duplicatesamples afiixed to page number 10. Each page will be formed out of asingle sheet of suitable material indicated by 16 and folded over onlines 17 and 18 to form the pockets referred to. To form a pocket page,sheet 16 will first be folded over on line 17, see Fig. 3, then in anopposite direc tion upon line 18. The line 17 will be located slightlyaway from the center of the sheet or slightly nearer one edge 19 thanthe other edge 20, so as to provide lips 21, see Figs. 5 and 6, afterthe sheet has been folded to form the pockets 11 and 12. The lips 21facilitate the opening of the pockets for the insertion or withdrawal ofthe samples within the pockets. Line 18 is located midway of the lengthof the sheet.

The free end 23 of the folded-over por tion of page number 10 will besecured to binding elements or tapes 25 and 26. The tapes will besecured to the ends referred to, preferably by pasting. The ends 21 and27 of the folded-over portions of the sheet will be unsecured to thetapes or to the edges 23 and 26. The binding elements or tapes 25 and 26will be wide enough to be pasted or otherwise secured to relativelystiff binders 29 and 30, provided with openings 31 for the passagetherethrough of the fastening elements of a loose leaf binder, asindicated in Fig. 7 which illustrates a loose leaf binder made up ofcovers 32 and 33, and fastening elements 34 and 35. An inspection ofFig. 6 will show that the foldedover portion along line 17 will form abottom for each pocket, and the folded-over portion along line 18 one ofthe end walls of the pockets, the opposite end or wall be ing formedwhere the free ends 23, 24:, 26 and 27 are secured by their respectivetapes to binders 29 and 30.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A sheet having a crease longitudinally thereof, said crease beinglocated closer to one of the longitudinal edges of the sheet than theother, and a crease extending transversely of the sheet locatedequi-distant from the transverse edges of the sheet, all arranged sothat When said sheet is folded along said creases a plurality ofconnected pocket members will be formed, each pocket member having a lipextending longitudinally thereof.

2. A page for a display book consisting of a sheet of suitable materialfolded over to form pockets, and a fastening element secured tooutermost members of each pocket portion at the free ends thereof, thefree ends of the innermost members of the pocket portions beingunsecured.

3. A page for a book consisting of a sheet folded longitudinallythereof, and transversely thereof to form pockets, the rear Wall of eachpocket and one end Wall being formed by the portions of the sheetlocated along the lines upon which the sheet is folded, a fasteningelement secured to the outermost member of each pocket at its free end,the innermost member of each pocket at its free end being unsecured, andmeans to secure a plurality of pages together at the end at Which thefastening means is located.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature. 1
